This story, believe it or not, is the very
familiar fable of Little Red Riding Hood. This curious version
was written in 1940 by a professor of French named H. L. Chace,
who wanted to show his students that intonation - that
is, the melody of a language - is an integral part of its meaning.
The words here are all common English words, but not the ones
you'd expect to tell the story of Little Red Riding Hood.
